perl-base

The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister

A scripting language with delusions of full language-hood, Perl is used
in many system scripts and utilities.

This is a stripped down Perl with only essential libraries. To make
full use of Perl, you'll want to install the 'Perl' package which
supplements this one.

Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed, awk

Handbooks published by O'Reilly & Assoc. See pod/perlbook.
